allow those with the Pro plan to have the ability to approve/reject messages from team members! · October 13, 2015 ·

Our organization purchased the Pro plan with the intention of having multiple users and requiring approval for messages. We're a non-profit governmental agency, so the enterprise plan is absolutely out of our budget. We are likely not to renew the Pro plan at the end of our year agreement because the functionality of the platform is not what we're looking for. If possible, feel free to pass along my thoughts regarding the desire for that approval feature on the pro plan. It just doesn't seem worth the money.

Pro accounts not having limited permissions is the main reason my clients stop using Hootsuite after the 30 days trial. An additional fee to unlock this feature would be great.

Allow Pro Membership to review user posts before they are posted · December 02, 2011 ·

Currently pro membership cant review users posts before they are posted. They only way to do this is to upgrade to Enterprise which would coast over 1,000 a month. Please added the ability to create users that their posts will be sent for approval.

Just discovered, after paying for 5 team members, that our "PRO" account lacks the approval function. For the first time in 3 years, I'm looking at competitors now. Hootsuite will lose my business at the end of the month at this rate.

Our organization purchased the Pro plan under the impression that we would be able to require approvals for messages. We only have two people who need access to do this currently and do not have a need for Enterprise at this time. It's also a little deceiving I think because your marketing gives the impression that this is available in the Pro version. I don't think there should be an additional fee for this if your users are already paying for Pro. When will this feature be added? The last comment made on this was in 2013... It is almost 2016 now... how long does it take for a feature request to move from under review to implementation?

as a small company with a high level of risk unless message approvals are in place. I think the feature should be available on the pro plan as well. Small companies or those that are starting up do not have enough people daily on social media to justify using a enterprise plan just for one little feature. I think many small companies would happily pay a add on fee for this feature to be available in the pro plan.

No new comments on this in a while. This feature is something that can be extremely useful for accounts with as few as 2 users. The workaround requiring team members to edit a shared .csv file is clunky and a step that many would pay to avoid, myself included. Companies that are willing to pay for enterprise level service are not likely to downgrade just because this feature is now offered in the pro level service. The functionality exists in one version of your platform, so making it available in a lower tier won't require you to reinvent the wheel...

Please add this. As a nonprofit, there are a lot of "hands in the pot" on social media, and the require approval feature is the only reason I convinced the Higher Ups to allow us to begin using a management tool. Without it, we may as well just use the Facebook scheduling tool and tweet as we need.

One of the main needs of every marketing manger is the ''required approval'' settings and I think the feature should be added to the Pro version of hootsuite so the small businesses - who do not need all the other features of the enterprise version - can benefit from hootsuite and live the full experience of social media.
I wish you take my feedback into consideration
Thank you,

Has adding the approval process become a consideration for pro accounts yet?? This is the main reason we have signed up to try out the pro account, a fairly simple process which is greatly needed at businesses of all sizes working to better manage social media. PLEASE OFFER APPROVALS TO PRO USERS! Or if you are not going to offer it, please make a note on that approvals are only available to Enterprise users so that many of your once happy customers at least have a heads up!!

This is a basic feature that is needed for small companies leveraging external social media management and boutique agencies that support them. There is a fundamental need for this... unlike the other features of Enterprise.

That's plain ridiculous, the whole reason we decided to try hootsuite is to be able to collaborate as a team and review our posts before pushing them online. Everything else we can do with other FREE solutions out there. #EpicFail indeed.
